Quick Roundup: 2015 U.S. Open Sectional Qualifiers
/For site-by-site stories and images, the USGA has links to all or will have them once the scribes on site have all filed.
Fox Sports’ roundup and coverage links to Golfweek.com where stories by Nichols, Dusek, Miceli, McCabe, Schupak, Casey and Achenbach.
GolfChannel.com’s Will Gray with a nice one page roundup from the venues if you only have a few minutes, as did John Strege at GolfDigest.com.
Sean Martin on Pepperdine great Michael Putnam, whose parents still live next to Chambers Bay and who grew up in the area, made it through the Columbus qualifier.
Sam Saunders used his caddies irons to qualify, reports Rex Hoggard.
Two-time champion Lee Janzen, 50, qualified. The USGA may have to print more tickets to handle the demand.
A 15-year-old who committed to University of Texas as a 13-year-old made it, reports Adam Schupak.
We may have set a new record for on-site WD's and in my glance at the names, nearly all were either way over par or, more likely, PGA Tour players. I've heard from a few over the years angered by those getting exemptions to the Sectionals only to no-show or WD. But that doesn't appear to be the case here.
The new standard bearer for WDitis? Columbus in 2015 with its rain delay spawned 39 WD's! Better call for more ambulances.
Memphis had 18, the Bears Club 12, Dallas has 11 and Springfield, Ohio 7.
**Fox Sports 1's wrap show did air at 10 pm PT and it was a very decent first effort considering the difficulty of covering play across the country. While the show didn't capture the emotions and some of the clutch shots that Golf Channel did during their all-day, all-in "Golf's Longest Day" coverage, this was a very serviceable start. 
Holly Sonders hosted from a vibrant set at Fox studios in Los Angeles with analysis from two who've qualified a few times: Scott McCarron and Brad Faxon. They made great use of huge video boards, where Holly selected sectionals John King-style and graphics revealed the winning scores. Remote appearances from Robert Lusetich, Shane Bacon and Colleen Dominguez fleshed out some of the qualifiers' stories. Dominguez did mention Chambers Bays, but all-in-all it was very serviceable.
There was one bit of fun: use of the manual scoreboard (RIP) in the show's opening featured Rory McIlroy's name mispelled. Some would be horrified, but anyone who has gone to a few Opens knows this could have been a splash of authenticity!
